Stop in for a cup of coffee

No, evening.
Morning all bikes and coffee a great start to a Monday.
I rode as a kid up to when I was 19. I had a heck of a wreck that I walked away from.
I had a Kawasaki 900 a drunk pulled out in front of me I was doing 40.
I hit him broadside and had enough time to push off the foot pegs and go over the car. Ripped the front fork off but I walked away without a scratch.
I tried riding again, but it just wasn't fun anymore.
Isn’t that the bike Maverick had in the original top gun that everyone said was a death trap?

Don't know it was a great ride I had it for a year or so before I had the wreck. CHP we're riding them also.
 
All I know is I thought I had crap luck and was accident prone, reading all this this morning I don’t feel so bad

I miss riding mine. Never got around to making up that chin fairing to give that radiator a little bit of style.
 
Last night's birthday party / going away party was a doozy. Probably 75 people or so there. Lasted until around midnight, started at 4:00 p.m. lol

Any day we see the sunset and take a breathe is a blessed and lucky day.

Never understood the whole midlife crisis thing when I was younger but man, I sure have come full circle on that and now realize my own mortality.

I dunno if i ever had a midlife crisis.. i pretty much hate life in general and always have.. to the point i'm pissed that my parents had me.. My gene pool should have been drained well before i came around :)

I think I'm still having my midlife crisis. Lol. Never get old, because I think that sucks.

At 64 I can say I am fortunate to feel good 4 out of 7 days a week, at 64 crawling under my 66 on jack stands and leaning over the fenders, yard work and even laid new tile floors in my little cottage home on the hill i love life, miss stock car driving, but now enjoy drag racing in some nice 6 fifty class cars, best friends made the last 5 years at our local dragstrip where they let me drive there cars.
I am a blessed man.
 
Good Morning Everyone. More snow yesterday (2-3") and then another 2+ overnight. High winds this AM made the drive in interesting. Complete white out/no visibility with all the open fields to the north. Looks lots more like January than mid March!! Got a bunch done on the Charger this weekend. Motor placement is about set, it is too high, but I will need to work around that, the cross member in this suspension is too tall and is aluminum so I can't cut and weld with my equipment. Also, the design would be completely changed from as designed by smart people so I am out there.

The work is interesting Eric. I should know but do you have a build thread going?

We had a bit of snow yesterday that's kicking around. Nothing worthwhile... but I agree it seems more like February
 
If I knew I was going to be this old I would have partied twice as hard.

Like at Mitches house! Nice gathering there!
 
Looks like we get another break from the rain today. The fun starts tonight, if the wind blows from the direction they predict, it's gonna be a wet one here tomorrow. This full on dark at 06:00 is getting old already :mad::lol:

You hang on a minute, we will get that way of thinking out of your mind Younggun, life is something thats made for a creative mind, I wake up in a new world everyday, don't look in to your past. Just forward, I would be a mess if I looked to close into my passed my friend, hopefully you will start this new day with a smile on, everything is good.
 
Well... if you're Mitch it's pretty cool being over 60.... :lol:
Truth of the matter is, when I was a young boy and even into my early twenties I was a very skinny person. But over time I worked out to gain some weight and always ate well. I think that has a lot to do with one's health. In my case I think it was because I was so small when I was younger. What say you all??
